the same encryption algorithm as is used for Static WEP; therefore,

 

the data encryption method configured on the client for this mode is

Connecting to the Wireless Network with an IEEE 802.1x Client Using a Certificate

IEEE 802.1x clients should now be able to connect to the access point using their TLS certificates. The certificate you installed is used when you connect, so you will not be prompted for login information. The certificate is automatically sent to the RADIUS server for authentication and authorization.
